May be Zeta is the damping coefficient.

Ramu said:   9 years ago
Zeta is damping factor or damping ratio.

Vicky pooraneeswar said:   9 years ago
Can anyone please explain in a simple way?

Jithin said:   9 years ago
@Vicky.

Just find logarithmic decrement using following equation.

Logarithmic Decrement = 2 * (Pi) * Zeta/sqrt(1-zeta^2).

Where zeta is ratio of Actual damping coefficient/Critical damping coefficient.

Perfect answer @Jithin.

Good explanation. Thank you all.

Could you please confirm the zeta. Is this zeta is a damping factor or damping coefficient, or both are same?

LD = 2 x π x 40 / sqrt(420^2-40^2) = 0.601.
